Using watercolors and acrylic paint in my art journal

I cleaned my studio this week, and this is what my new filming area looks like. The table used to be against the wall, and the tripod sat in front of the window. The tripod was always in the way, and it drove me crazy moving it all the time. When the camera’s plugged in, and lights are on it, it’s not so easy to move. I was tripping over cords and trying not to smash my camera into stuff. Things had to change. So, now it’s somewhat stationary, and not in the way.

I don’t know if I’ve posted a photo of the tripod arm I bought a couple months ago. I know I wrote about getting it, here, but don’t think I’ve showed it in use. I must say, I love it! If your camera doesn’t have a swing out type of lcd window, like mine, the arm is so important. I can see what I’m painting if I stand up, so I position the camera, turn on the camera, and paint. Really easy.

I always love your videos! Another thing that makes them awesome is the music! You have such a good ear and eye!!
Thanks for sharing your set up! Love the painting and found it interesting that you painted on it’s side instead of upright!!

Thanks! I do like making videos. 🙂 I didn’t paint sideways. The camera was positioned to the left of where I was painting. so it filmed sideways. Now, it will be filming upside down, but it’s okay. I can revert the video when I edit it. I think I’ll like it better this way.

Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed: I was here. I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad. I was in love. I was afraid. I was hopeful. I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that’s why I made works of art. – Felix Gonzalez-Torres

The artist one day falls through a hole in the brambles, and from that moment he is following the dark rapids of an underground river which may sometimes flow so near to the surface that the laughing picnic parties are heard above.
